8.4.2013

- second round of 8.5 test will start on 11.4.2013 apparently (changes are not available yet)
- there aren't so many city maps, because they stress the server more than "regular" maps
- Asian maps (Dragon's Ridge, Pearl River) were introduced in order to satisfy the Asian audience
- maps with rain/snowing effects won't come this year
- the problem with night maps is the implementation of dynamic lighting, dynamic lighting is planned for very distant future
- the 10 second drown time is not planned to be increased
- old render will not be optimized (improved) anymore, only the new one will
- the game will undergo a color-rebalance (SS: filters were mentioned earlier)
- currently, the skill of the drivers is not taken into account when balancing vehicles
- installing high-res skins and other addons can theoretically lower the game performance
- WG doesn't have enough data to buff/nerf British TD yet
- tank balancing is not done automatically, but manually and individually
- the fact HE explosions have little effect on the light tank vehicle movement is intentional
- exhaust vapours will not be made thicker (as they were before)
- T-80 MM spread is not yet decided apparently ("wait for the patch")
- developers are working on improving the account security (maybe including the possibility of "restoring" sold crews after the account was hacked) because there have been more cases of account stealing lately
- 3 arty per team hardcap will not come
- for now, no high-octane diesel fuel consumable is planned (for German diesel tanks)
- open-topped vehicles will not get a buff (SS: connected to the question how some open-topped vehicles were dealt with after they had the "improved ventilation" removed)
- no plans for tier 10 LT's
- SU-100Y is doing normally statistics-wise
- no (torque) difference will be implemented between the diesel and gasoline engines
- post-0.7.0, the armor system has not changed: 16 armor groups for turret, 16 for hull
- ST-I armor angles are historical
- devs have so far not thought about introducing Soviet lend-lease vehicles into the historical battles concept
- if you destroy a low HP enemy by ramming, you will get back the same damage as if the enemy had full HP- Storm on patch 0.8.6: "Get ready. The patch will be nuclear. A lot of rebalancing. Will tell more in about a month." It will contain tier 10 arty, amongst other things.
- Poole medal was not rewarded retroactively, because it was harder to implement than for example the Lion of Sinai medal.
- tier 10 alternative German TD will be a "German nightmare and horror" and "something special".
- Q: "Will it be a nightmare and horror for its owners?" A: "For whiners - definitely" and "only for German-lovers"
- generally, the state of module unlock has no effect on that vehicle's MM spread
- second full branch of Soviet medium tanks - "distant future"
- Soviet premium T7 med is not yet modelled
- there are many Soviet archives not yet uncovered
- US premium TD will come next year

Overlord has hinted they will do a rebalance somewath due to the derp heat tanks at mid tiers. It could be an overhaul of the penetration mechanics, reducing the effectivenes of heat shells maybe? They would have to do a lot of rebalancing on most tanks i would guess.

-generally, the state of module unlock has no effect on that vehicle's MM spread.Really not, it means that, apart from the first 10 games grace period when you have just unlocked a tank, you won't get any special MM no matter how many modules you have unlocked/still to unlock.

The problem is WG research becoming lazier with time.There is enough material for 5 full TD lines (ok, two of them would start from tier 5 most likely but still better than making up tanks) but recycling models is much cheaper...

> - tier 10 alternative German TD will be a "German nightmare and horror" and "something special".> - Q: "Will it be a nightmare and horror for its owners?" A: "For whiners - definitely" and "only for German-lovers"Let me guess, supremely accuracy 17cm/21cm gun, "armored" hull but paper upper, bit more than no camo and low hp pool.So they can say "you don't know how to hide your tank, get back to your loltractor." when anyone complaining about this thing can be spot at the beginning of the game.

Seriously, I don't care any E-100 base vehicles, but just please don't fkup the Waffentragers Panther...

- Asian maps (Dragon's Ridge, Pearl River) were introduced in order to satisfy the Asian audience___________________________________________________________________So whole branch of made up copy/paste tanks were not enough to suck up in their tiny asian asses but they also make the maps for their taste.....and i can't wait to see how will they fuck up those german TDs....they'll be something like aufkl panther....light tank with mobilty and armor of a medium tank....without view range nor cammo for a light tank but with nonexisting gun depression and horrible gun choices and then they called it "scout" roflmao...

U r getting this wrong. By saying "8.6 will be nuclear" he means the IS7 will be rebalanced to fire nuclear warheads. The researchers found the blueprints in a previously undiscovered russian archive. They also discovered that russian post war testing has unveiled that the German tanks in the game are currently too small and will be resized to make even better targets ermh I mean be more historically accurate.
